Nope, those were brand new castings that were ported and assembled. The 195s that replaced them were pre-eliminators.

I fell for the same crap in 99, bought a set of Dart 200 Conquest heads because they were "close enough" I was told to the AFR 190s back then. over $200 I cheaped out. Kinda knew better but fell for the hopeful BS. Car lost low end picked up a little midrange and was about the same up top compared to stock 462 heads. $2000 in professional porting later they appear to be pretty substantial only the runner now is probably around 215 or better and have had to build a motor, regear, lighten the car, grind a custom cam in hopes it will work well which it probably will. Id trade them in a hot second for a 195 Comp Port, put it that way.

Anyway the reason I harp on it is to keep some from making the same mistakes, if you want to call names, bash, categorize because of it go ahead. Im simply trying to help out, hate hearing similar stories of guys having to spend the money 2-3x to get what they wanted in the first place, then be pissed off about it for God knows how long.BTDT got the Tshirt....call it passion for the hobby.

Whatever, I need groceries.....Ugh.
